This book examines a variety of problems in the understanding of the evolutionary history of the marsupials.
The aim of this book is to examine a variety of problems in the understanding of the evolutionary history of the marsupials. In his exposition, the author covers developmental and reproductive biology, the cranio-skeletal system (including dentition, skull and postcranial morphology) and the ecologically related aspects of skeletal morphology. In reviewing the evidence from bones, he presents much new information on both living and fossil groups of marsupials. All groups of marsupials are treated in detail, and in the final chapter their history in space and time and their palaeobiogeography are considered.
Review quote:
"Here, for the first time in recent decades, a single morphologist has examined the entire range of living and extinct marsupials in terms of evolutionalry relationships...This tour de force of marsupialogy is highly recommended for natural history and broad biology collections."
E. Delson, Choice
"...Szalay deserves credit for compiling and synthesizing a wealth of data on the Metatheria."
Kenneth D. Rose, American Scientist
"...impressive....this is a reference book that will provide a comparative source of information for anyone interested in either marsupial systematics or the functional anatomy of the lower limb. Likewise, it provides the most extensive rendering of Szalay's philosophy of how one should address problems in evolutionary biology."
John G. Fleagle, Quarterly Review of Biology
Table of contents:
Preface; 1. Introduction; 2. Phylogenetics of characters and groups, and the classification of taxa; 3. Problems in understanding metatherian evolution; 4.

Mesozoic and Cenozoic: fossil tarsals of ameridelphians unassociated with teeth; 7. Cruropedal attributes of living and fossil families of metatherians; 8. Taxa and phylogeny of Metatheria; 9. Paleobiogeography and metatherian evolution; References; Index.
